nvm-windows: Version 1.1 missing settings.txt

I installed 1.1 after uninstalling nvm-windows and continuously get the following error

ERROR open \settings.txt: The system cannot find the file specified.

All is well if I install the previous version and then install 1.1 over it.

Here some steps that might help figuring out what’s going:

  1. I just installed nvm-windows through installer, for the first time on this machine
  2. At the end of setup wizard I left the run cmd check box enabled
  3. Command prompt window opened and I saw the mentioned error message
  4. I then opened another command prompt and typed nvm, and just saw the same message
  5. I then opened a command prompt as administrator, and ran nvm. This time, the help came out, no error message.
  6. I opened a regular prompt then, ran nvm and no error message showed up anymore, just help.

HTH

Thanks @BrainCrumbz its works

+1 I can also only run it as administrator.
